Yes sir, its one of the awkward things when a colony is ruling another colony. But when Mexico got its independence from Spain, then the power of ruling Philippines got transferred back to Spain. It was thought to us in History.

The archipelago (Philippines) was Spain's outpost in the orient and Manila became the capital of the entire Spanish East Indies. The colony was administered through the Viceroyalty of New Spain (now Mexico) until 1821 when Mexico achieved independence from Spain. After 1821, the colony was governed directly from Spain.

Re: Somewhere in the Southwestern Desert...

The Philippines was not a colony of Mexico. It so happens that the viceroyalty of New Spain was based in Mexico City at that time. This viceroyalty was an appointed Administrator by the King of Spain.
New Spain was a colonies of Spain comprising Mexico, Peru, Central America, California, Texas, Puerto Rico, some parts of USA and Canada and the East Indies such as the Philippines, Taiwan, Marianas Islands, Mallacas.
New Spain was a colony of Bastile and Spain!

Re: Somewhere in the Southwestern Desert...

I just hope there was no linebreeding to get those percentages.
But seriously thanks for sharing the pictures of your visit. Did you asked what they feed their birds to compensate for the lack of green grass? probably vegetables, or alfalfa I would think. Thank you

Alfalfa is actually a really good supplement, we feed it to our birds in Mexico for the same reason, no access to grass. We have 6 corrales were we keep birds, but all the birds are in fly pens. Alfalfa has a high amount of protein, calcium, minerals, iron, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K.
